ABSTRACT

13

New Zealand manuka honey is well-known for its unique antibacterial activity. Due to

14

its high price and limited availability, this honey is often subject to honey fraud. Two

15

pteridine derivatives, 3,6,7-trimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione and 6,7-dimethyl-

16

2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione, have now been identified in New Zealand manuka honey.

17

Their structures were elucidated by LC-QTOF-HRMS, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray

18

diffraction after isolation via semi-preparative HPLC. Their marker potential for

19

authentic manuka honey was proved as both substances were neither detectable in

20

the pollen-identical kanuka honey nor in the nine other kinds of monofloral New

21

Zealand honey analyzed (clover, forest, kamahi, pohutukawa, rata, rewarewa, tawari,

22

thyme, and vipers bugloss). The fluorescence property of the pteridine derivatives

23

can be used as an easy and fast TLC screening method for the authentication of

24

genuine manuka honey. 6,7-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione has been described

25

for the first time.

INTRODUCTION

29

New Zealand manuka (Leptospermum scoparium J.R. Forst. & G. Forst) honey has

30

become more and more important for its medicinal application in treating wounds,

31

even more so than for its nutritional value.1 Its antibacterial activity is derived from the

32

low pH value, high sugar concentration, individual proteins as well as peptides, and

33

secondary plant metabolites.2 For the latter, especially methylglyoxal, a strong

34

cytotoxic effective compound, which hitherto had been found in high amounts only in

35

manuka honey, is of particular importance.3-7 In contrast, hydrogen peroxide, another

36

antibacterially effective compound responsible for great success in regard to wound

37

healing, e.g. cornflower honey, is present in manuka honey only in traces.8,9

38

Due to its special value, manuka honey is often adulterated. Even though only 1,700

39

tons of manuka honey are actually produced in New Zealand each year, the so-

40

called manuka honey sold worldwide is estimated at 10,000 tons. Therefore, the

41

UMFHA (Official Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association)10 and the New Zealand

42

Government11 require clear and robust chemical and physical methods for defining

43

genuine manuka honey.

44

Pollen analysis, the most common method for honey differentiation, is not suitable for

45

manuka honey authentication as the simultaneously flowering kanuka bush in New

46

Zealand produces pollen indistinguishable from manuka.12 Other analytical

47

parameters for honey authentication such as sensory properties (color, aroma, smell,

48

and viscosity) and physico-chemical characteristics (electrical conductivity, sugar

49

composition) have proved to be unpromising as well.13 This also applies to the

50

analysis of methylglyoxal and its precursor dihydroxyacetone which is tentatively

51

unique to manuka honey and not naturally present in kanuka honey. Both substances

52

are commercially available so that upgrading the scarcely antibacterially active ACS Paragon Plus Environment

53

kanuka honey by adding methylglyoxal or dihydroxyacetone is easily feasible as has

54

been reported recently.14

55

During the last decade, secondary plant metabolites seemed to be most helpful for

56

manuka honey authentication. Next to volatile compounds, non-volatile compounds

57

such as phenolic acids, norisoprenoids, and flavonoids are analyzed by means of

58

HPLC/UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS.15-21 By comparing the PDA-profiles of manuka honeys

59

with various other New Zealand monofloral honeys, in particular kanuka honey,

60

distinguishing peaks can be selected as markers. A marker is defined as a unique

61

compound for a monofloral honey or as a compound present in significantly higher

62

amounts. The markers for manuka honey are leptosperin (former: leptosin), 1, acetyl-

63

2-hydroxy-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate,

64

methoxyphenyl)-penta-1,4-dione, 3, whereas 4-methoxyphenyllactic acid, 4 and

65

lumichrome, 5, are kanuka markers (Figure 1).15,16,18,20

66

Recently, two additional peaks with marker potential could be detected in the PDA-

67

profiles of manuka honey by our working group (Figure 1).22 During our studies for

68

their elucidation a new marker compound for manuka honey named lepteridine was

69

proposed, which turned out to be one of these two peaks.17 Therefore, the aim of this

70

study concentrated on the identification of the still unknown compound in addition to

71

the recently reported, using semi-preparative HPLC for separation and concentration

72

for the subsequent elucidation by NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

73

Subsequently, the marker potential of the isolated substances needs to be tested.

74

The more marker compounds exist for a certain kind of honey, the more difficult it

75

becomes to adulterate the honey.

Honey Samples. 64 genuine monofloral manuka honeys and 18 genuine monofloral

78

kanuka (Kunzea ericoides) honeys harvested in regions with monocultures were

79

analyzed by UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS. Other relevant New Zealand monofloral honeys,

80

nine in total, were considered in the study: 18 clover (Trifolium species), 7 forest, 10

81

kamahi (Weimannia racemosa), 7 pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa), 6 rata

82

(Metrosideros umbellata), 13 rewarewa (Knightia excelsa), 6 tawari (Ixerba

83

brexioides), 15 thyme (Thymus vulgaris), and 5 vipers bugloss (Echium vulgare). All

84

the samples were provided by the UMFHA and were stored in darkness at 8 °C until

85

analyzed.

86

Chemicals. Methanol (HPLC grade; LC-MS grade) and acetonitrile (HPLC grade)

87

were acquired from Fisher Scientific (Schwerte, Germany). A daidzein standard was

88

purchased from Alfa Aesar (Karlsruhe, Germany). 4-methoxy-13C,d3-benzoic-2,3,5,6-

89

d4 acid as internal standard, acetic acid, 100% glacial, as well as chlorogenic acid

90

were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). Sodium chloride, sodium

91

sulfate, acetonitrile (HPLC grade), and methanol (HPLC grade) were purchased from

92

VWR International (Darmstadt, Germany). Ethyl acetate and caffeine were from

93

Sigma Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). 6,7-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione was

94

acquired from AKos (Steinen, Germany). Deuterated solvents dimethyl sulfoxide-d6

95

(99.8%) and methanol-d4 (99.8%) were purchased from Deutero GmbH (Kastellaun,

96

Germany). All the chemicals were of analytical grade. Bi-distilled water was

103

Liquid Extraction and semi-preparative HPLC for the Fractionation of Unknown

104

Compounds. 30 g honey were dissolved in an aqueous sodium chloride solution

105

(2%, m/v) and then extracted twice with 60 mL ethyl acetate. The combined organic

106

extracts were carefully evaporated to dryness in nitrogen flow, and the residue was

107

dissolved in 5 mL methanol/water (1:1, v/v). A Elite LaChrom semi-preparative HPLC

108

system (VWR, Darmstadt, Germany) was combined with a fraction collector.8 In sum,

109

more than 2 kg of manuka honey were liquid-liquid extracted.23 The concentrated

110

extract was chromatographed employing a 250 mm x 10 mm i. d., 10 µm, Nucleodur

111

C18 Pyramid column (Macherey&Nagel, Düren, Germany;). Due to co-eluting

112

substances a second separation step using a 250 mm x 10 mm i. d., 10 µm, Synergi

113

Polar-RP 80 Å column (Phenomenex, Aschaffenburg, Germany) was necessary. The

114

oven temperature was set at 40 °C, and the mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic

115

acid and methanol with a flow rate of 2.5 mL/min. The collected fractions were

116

evaporated to dryness and analyzed by UHPLC-QTOF-HRMS, single-crystal X-ray

117

diffraction, and, after dissolving, in deuterated solvent by NMR.

118

UHPLC-QTOF-HRMS Analysis. For determining the exact mass, the isolated

119

compounds were analyzed by a 1290 Infinity UHPLC system coupled with a 6540

120

QTOF (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany). The same UHPLC parameters, as described

121

in the SPE-UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS section, were used. Mass spectrometric data were

122

acquired ranging from m/z 40 – 1000 in the positive mode with an acquisition rate of

123

6 spectra/s. The following source parameters were set: drying gas temperature, 200

124

°C; drying gas flow rate, 8 L/min ; nebulizer pressure, 35 psi; sheath gas

125

temperature, 350 °C, sheath gas flow, 11 L/min; capillary voltage, 4000 V; and nozzle

156

(sampling interval 10 nm). The scan speed was set at 2400 nm/min, the PMT voltage

157

was 700 V, and the response was 0.004 s. Furthermore, the shutter control was on.

Results and Discussion

161

UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS Analysis.

162

As stated in the introduction, apart from the known markers for manuka, two

163

unknown compounds were discovered in the PDA-profiles (Figure 1, named unknown

164

1, 6, and unknown 2, 7). However, they were not detected in the scarcely

165

antibacterially effective kanuka honey profiles (B), the most prevalent fraudulent

166

substitute for manuka honey (A), or in the other nine monofloral NZ honeys analyzed.

167

Identification of unknown 1 and unknown 2

168

To elucidate the chemical structure of the unknown compounds it was necessary to

169

isolate the substances from the honey matrix, using semi-preparative HPLC. In

170

regard to the smaller peaks, in our case it was necessary to extract more than 2 kg of

171

honey to obtain adequate amounts of the two substances for subsequent UHPLC-

172

MS/MS, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements.

Compound unknown 1

174

Unknown 1 was gained as a silvery-white crystalline compound (about 8 mg) with a

175

UV maximum of 326 nm, an exact molecular weight of 207.0868 Da [M+H]+. The

176

different NMR analyses (1H;

177

1

178

methyl groups: two methyl groups were located at C-6 and C-7 whereas the third

179

methyl group, despite sufficient sample material of high purity, could not be

180

unambiguously assigned to N-1 or N-3 (Figure 1). The crystalline form of unknown 1

181

allowed for the subsequent application of the single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The

182

structural refinement of unknown 1 revealed two crystallographic independent

183

molecules with the same chemical structure in the unit cell (Figure 2). Unknown 1

184

was clearly identified as a pteridine derivative named 3,6,7-trimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-

185

pteridinedione, 6, quite recently reported as lepteridine (Figure 1).17

186

Compound unknown 2

187

Unknown 2 showed a UV spectrum with a maximum at 326 nm, similar to unknown 1.

188

With a molecular weight of 192 Da (a mass difference of 14 Da from unknown 1) and

189

a similar fragmentation pattern as unknown 1, a structural relationship could be

190

assumed. About 2 mg of unknown 2 were isolated as a white powder. The 1H;

1

H/13C-HSQC;

1

H/13C-HMBC;

H/15N-HSQC; 1H/15N-HMBC; NOESY) indicated a pteridinedione structure with three

13

C{1H}; DEPT 135; 1H/13C-HSQC; 1H/13C-HMBC analyses resulted in the following

192

structure: 6,7-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione, 7 (Figure 1). Finally, the structure

193

identification could be confirmed with a commercially available standard (AKos,

194

Steinen, Germany). The occurrence of the demethylated lepteridine in honey has

195

thus been described for the first time.

196

Possible biosynthesis



Page 10 of 22

10

197

As the two newly identified compounds were very similar to riboflavin, 8, and its light

198

induced acidic degradation product lumichrome, 5, it may be possible that they are a

199

part of the riboflavin biosynthesis (Figure 3). 6,7-Dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine, 9, has

200

already been described as a direct precursor of riboflavin (Figure 3).27 As shown in

201

Figure 3, the reaction of two molecules of 9 resulted in riboflavin and 5-amino-6-

202

ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione,

203

degradation of riboflavin to lumichrome, it can be hypothesized that under the acidic

204

honey condition 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine converts to 6,7-dimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-

205

pteridinedione,

206

pteridinedione, 6.

207

Marker potential of the identified pteridines in manuka honey in comparison to

208

other monofloral New Zealand honeys

209

Daniels et al.17 identified 3,6,7-trimethyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pteridinedione in manuka honey

210

authenticated

211

dihydroxyacetone, methylglyoxal, and phenolic compounds. These authors also

212

analyzed one or two samples from a number of other monofloral New Zealand

213

honeys. However, no data were presented concerning color, conductivity, and pollen

214

analysis. Thus, the authenticity of these honey samples has not been defined clearly.

215

In our study, in addition to authentic kanuka honeys, nine other monofloral New

216

Zealand honeys (clover, forest, kamahi, pohutukawa, rata, rewarewa, tawari, thyme,

217

and vipers bugloss) with at least five authentic monofloral samples of each were

218

analyzed. As shown in the boxplots and employing the significance test (Kruskal-

219

Wallis, P < 0.01), both substances are not only markers for distinguishing manuka

220

from kanuka honey but, moreover, also for significantly differentiating manuka honey

221

from the nine New Zealand honeys named above (Figure 4). The variability of the

Fluorescent properties

225

identification of manuka honey; for example, leptosperin has recently been described

226

as a fluorophore.28 As riboflavin and lumichrome are also well-known for their

227

fluorescence activity, fluorescence was also checked for the pteridine derivatives due

228

to their structural similarity. The excitation wavelength was determined at 329 nm

229

while the corresponding emission wavelength was 470 nm. The blue fluorescence of

230

the newly identified pteridine derivatives was used for a TLC screening, where no

231

other kind of honey tested had a fluorescent spot at the same Rf values as the

232

manuka honey in accordance with the boxplots results (Figure 5). Therefore, TLC is

233

an easy and fast screening method for unknown honey samples or honey samples

234

declared as manuka honey in order to detect genuine manuka honey.

235

For final manuka honey characterization and authentication, our HAHSUS method

236

(Honey Authentication by HS-SPME-GC/MS and UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS combined

237

with Statistics) is still necessary.29 In addition to the determination of the floral origin it

238

is possible to estimate the percentage of manuka honey in manuka-kanuka mixed

239

honeys. With the new fluorescent marker compounds, a valuable contribution for

240

identification and characterization of genuine monofloral manuka honey was

241

achieved.
